I was never using the Socratic method. I was asking rhetorical questions, and then gave the (my) answer at the end.
We just have different opinions about what it means to have a book. I think that having a copy of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is more like having a copy of "Pride and Prejudice", than having no book at all is like having a copy of that book. You disagree and that's fine.
Asking rhetorical questions as a form of argumentation is the Socratic method.
If one is using the Socratic method, rhetorical questions are one tool they might employ.
The reverse is not true. Just because someone asks a rhetorical question, does not mean they are using the Socratic method.
